LINCOLN PARK — Police say a 23-year-old with drugs ran and gave them the slip — but was arrested later by another police department.

On Thursday night, Patrolman John Cifelli was patrolling in the area of Pinebrook and Two Bridges roads when a vehicle passed him, speeding, police said. He pulled over the car, and found driver Dylan Mawson, 20, of LincolK Park, was wanted on an outstanding warrant, police said. Backup officers arrived as well, police said.

Mawson was arrested, but officers then noticed the smell of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle, police said. Brittney Orengo, 19, of Linconln Park and Daniel Wendt, 23, of Boonton were asked to step outside of the vehicle — but then Wendt ran, police said.

The officers gave chase, but lost Wendt in a wooded area, police said. They set up a perimeter and brought in the county's K9 unit, but couldn't find Wendt — only the bags of marijuana he tossed along his route, police said.

Police searched the vehicle and found more marijuana, as well as a bag of suspected cocaine, police said.

Mawson and Orengo were taken to police headquarters, and all three were charged with possession of marijuana, possession within 1000 feet of a school zone, possession of cocaine, and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, police said. Wendt, though not yet in custody, was also charged with resisting arrest/fleeing and his bail was set by Judge Andrew Wubbenhorst at $25,000, with no 10 percent option, police said.

He was arrested at a later date by another jurisdiction, police said.

Mawson's bail was set at $10,000, with a 10 percent option, but he failed to make bail and was taken to the Morris County Correctional Facility, police said. Orengo was released with no bail and has a pending court date, police said.
